SEWING-CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

ratentedauly 1, 1911.

Application led October 31, 1910. Serial No. 589,903.

To all whom 'it may-concern: Be it known that I, DRINTHY M. MOR- RisoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Duluth, inthe county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements-in Sewing-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sewing-cabinets,

and the object of the invention is to provide a rotatable cabinet which may be placed upon a table or other support to contain materials and utensilsso that they may be handy for use.

A further object of the invention is to provide a novel structure of this character containing suitable drawers for scissors, needles and the like, and suitable means `for holding spools of thread as well as a cushion for pins.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and it will be understood that changes' in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the'spirt of the invention.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of .my improved cabinet, Fig.l 2 is a central vertical sectional view thereof, Fig. 3 is a `transverse sectional view on the `line 3 3 of Fig. 1, Fig. 4 is a plan view of one of the drawers, Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-5 of'Fig. 4 and showing the formation of a curved bottom for the drawer, Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the drawer guides, Fig. 7 is a. view similar to Fig. 6 of a slightly modified construction.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 10 designates a circular base having an extension 11 thereon and in which a vertical spindle 12 is rotatably mounted upon suitable ball bearings 13, said spindle also having a sleeve 14 secured thereto above lits lower end and resting upon the extension 11 to provide a desirable bearing surface in connection with the ball bearings 15. The

spindle carries a disk 16 thereon which is v retained in position by means lof 'the pins 17 which are extended through the spindle anda smaller disk 18 is supported thereon above the disk 16 and has a circular casing 19 secured to a depending ange 20 formed with -the disk 18 and the circular casing 19 is secured to the disk 16 by means of the annular ange portion 21 through the vdrical casing 23 having a similar medium of suitable rivets 22. Supported upon the smaller disk 18 is a smaller cylinflange porthe disk, a partition wall eing secured therein below the upper of the casing t-o support a pin cushion tion-24 riveted to 25 b edge 26 an the upper end of the spindle 12 being securedl to the disk 18 by means of wedge keys 27 disposed in coacting grooves and recesses in said disk and the adjacent portion of the spindle respectively so that said parts are rigidly secured together.

In order to support a plurality of drawers below the disk 16 I provide a pair of guides disposed diametrically thereof and at right angles to each other, said guides comprising'metal strips 28 having its upper end bent inwardly as shown at 29 for attachment to Ithe under face of the disk 16, said vert-ical portion of the strip 28 extending from the peripheral edge of the disk 16 and being enlarged-at two points of its height to provide shoulders 30 and 31 and the lower end of the st-rip being extended inwardly and provided with an enlarged central bearing portion 32 having an aperture 33 therethrough for receiving the spindle 12, said inwardly extended portion being also secured tothe diametrically opposite edge of the disk 16 and formed in a similar manner. An intermediate strip 34 havingasimilarly apertured central portion and downturned end portions 35 rlveted to the vertical strips 28 as shown and these strips toether with the shoulders 30 form a guide or receiving a segmental drawer 36. The lower shoulders 31 and the alined strips also form a guide for another drawer therebelow. As before mentioned, two of the guide strips 28 are provided, but it is only necessary that one of the intermediate strips 34 be provided. But, however, in each instance, the guide strips are provided with the shoulders 30 upon opposite edges thereof for supporting the drawers and the strips 28 upon the edge forming the guideway for the larger drawers 37. If desiredthe strips 28 may be provided with a shoulder 30 only upon `one side, as shown in Fig. 7 of the drawings.

Each of the drawers 36 and 37 comprise the segmental bottom portions 38 which may be flat or curved as shown in Fig. 5 and provided with side flanges 39 adapted to be secured vto the surrounding portions of the drawer which comprise a section of material having its ends secured together as shown at 40 and provided with a curved peripheralportion 41 having a knob 42 whereby they may be slid in and out ofposition within the guides. Each of the disks 16 and 18 have pins 43 formed of\metal having their lower ends provided with a flange por# tion 44 secured to the disks for carrying suitable spools of thread, a disk of rubber or the like 45 being mounted thereon so as to prevent the spool from unwinding too fast, the larger spools being adapted to be supported upon the disk 16 and the smaller spools upon the disk 18.

Thus 1t will be apparent, that the'cabinet constructed as above described, may be formed wholly of sheet material with the exception of the spindles and base, thus rendering it simple and light aswell as positioning the parts whereby the most necessary articles are handy for use.

What is claimed is:

1. A sewing cabinet comprising a base having an extension thereon, a spindle rotatably mounted in the extension, a collar upon the spindle, frictional bearings disposed between the collar and extension, a vdisk secured upon the spindle, a smaller disk supported thereabove, an intermediate casing portion rigidly connecting said disks, a second casing mounted on said smaller disk, a partition wall therein below its upper edge to support a pin cushion, means for securing said disks to the spindle to rotate therewith, pins secured to the projecting portions of the disks and adapted to hold spools of thread, disks disposed beneath said spools, drawer supports depending from th'e first mentioned diskand drawers adapted to slide upon said supports and be guided by the latter.

2. A cabinet comprising a base, a spindle rotatably carried thereby and extending vertically thereof, a disk secured to the spindle, a second disk secured to the first disk and to the spindle to rotate therewith, said second disk being spaced above the first disk, spool holding pins secured adjacent the peripheral edges of said disks and extending vertically therefrom, drawer guides secured to the under face of the lower disk and comprising strips of metal having their upper ends secured to said lower disk and providing intermediate horizontal portions journaled upon the spindle, a horizontal partition secured to said guides intermediate their vertical portions, the vertical portions of said strips being provided with shoulders adapted to form, guides in connection with the horizontal partition and drawers disposed within said guides and resting on said shoulders and horizontal partition.

In testimony whereof I alix my signature, in the presence of two Witnesses. Y DRINTHY M. MORRISON. Witnesses:
